[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 270465, member: 6546"] So after getting some good feedback from everyone here....I decided that I would go to the school and act as a sort of an "aide" for my son. I showed up un-announced at about 1:45....figuring that I would arrive shortly before everyone needed to be packed up for the bus. I didn't say a word, and just quietly sat next to my son's desk. He seemed to be participating in class well. He knew the answers to several questions. He took his turn reading from the textbook. Everything seemed fine until the bell rang and the teacher said basically "OK, everyone, time to head for the bus". My son jumped up WITHOUT his homework, his books, or important papers....and so, as the "aide", I simply said "Do you have your homework?". At my prompt, he went back and got his homework and books. One more prompt and he grabbed the important papers. He was all set. This is apparantly the problem. The teacher cannot be bothered with those prompts....and yet seems to take special satisfaction in giving my son a zero if he does not turn in the homework the next day. Talk about passive/aggressive! by the way--she looked none too pleased to have me show up. Didn't say one word to me--which I guess was confusing to my son, because she had been threatening him all afternoon with some message she was going to send me. So--I guess I will be a classroom "aide" again today. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
